A note on this record from http://www.vex.net/~paulmac/beatles/history.html Radio was once again an important source for new material as two new outtakes appeared from a recent Radio Luxembourg broadcast of two 1967 acetates. Unfortunately, the songs (I Am The Walrus and The Fool On The Hill) were each spliced together with the regular releases, so we only got half a new version in both cases. Still, half a song is better than none, and they have since turned up complete from direct tape sources. Coming from a French radio broadcast was the first new Get Back material in four years - Watching Rainbows, Mean Mr. Mustard, and Madman, all from 14 Jan 69. More of this tape would soon appear. Finally, a US radio broadcast of a Summer 76
Beach Boys documentary (narrated by Wolfman Jack no less!) offered Spiritual Regeneration and Happy Birthday Mike Love from Rishikesh, India. (This had previously appeared on the Strawberry Fields Forever fanzine’s 1976 Xmas Flexi).
So anxious was somebody to release all the new material that they threw together an album called Indian Rope Trick. Aptly named, for like that famed fakir’s stunt, it was not all what it seemed. (Note: some of this album may have originated on a very obscure fan-club LP, Apple Slices, which may have also debuted the 17 Jul 64 BBC session tape - see From Us To You for further details.)
Besides the aforementioned stuff, we got the following bunch of “goodies”: one channel of the stereo mixes for Savoy Truffle and Hey Bulldog (called “outtakes”) one channel of the stereo mix for It’s Only Love (called an “acoustic version”) a song by The Fourmost, I Love You Too (called “Paul singing with The Fourmost”)
Frenzy And Distortion from Apple’s Raga LP, by Ravi Shankar (called Not Guilty (!))
My Bonnie with English and German intros (only problem is, underneath the German intro you can hear the English one again at about half the maximum volume) Ron Nasty (Neil Innes) doing Cheese And Onions on Saturday Night Live Linda McCartney doing Oriental Nightfish from the film of the same name Not exactly good value for money, but there was also a Jan 69 All Things Must Pass rehearsal to make up for it. More of THAT tape would turn up soon, as well, leaving the Rishikesh segment as the only bit of this LP still useful today.
